"I hate Destiny, it's my favorite game"
I find this very relatable. I've been playing since year 1 of Destiny 1 and I've almost always enjoyed the game. Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it was my low standards as a kid. Now, the game feels different which can be good, but not for me. With D2's current f2p model, and even since year 1 of D2, every expansion pack has been way more than it's worth, only exception being Forsaken. Now, people who see a cool exotic and want to get it, must get past a paywall for Seasons. Want to get the Fourth Horseman because it's making a comeback in the second game? pay $10 and THEN go grind for it. And Bungie is still charging $40 for half-assed DLCs with a tiny amount of story progression. Trust me I really want to like this game, and I have for many years, but in its current model, I don't have the free time nor money to even play the game and enjoy new content. As a person who also bought D2 with the expansion pass, I feel that my already spent money is not worth anything because now people can get what I bought for $100 for free, and I STILL have to pay for seasons if I wanna stay up to date and obtain new guns. So yes, I hate destiny, but it's no longer my favorite game.
